Chromium should not usurp standard Linux keyboard shortcuts for non-standard actions

Reported by p...@symbolcraft.com, Oct 3 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.113 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to any text field, either in the browser UI or a web form
2. Type text, and then try to use any of the standard Linux editing shortcuts such as ctrl+e to go to end of line, or ctrl+k to delete to end of line.
3. A browser command function is initiated, instead of the standard Linux text editing function.

What is the expected behavior?
ctrl+e should go to the end of the line, ctrl+k should delete to the end of the line, etc.

What went wrong?
These keyboard shortcuts for editing text are muscle memory, so it's REALLY frustrating when the browser does something completely unexpected instead of following the usual convention for those shortcuts. What's worse is that there is no way to override this behavior in preferences.

Did this work before? Yes I don't recall, but I believe this was not a problem in the past.

Chrome version: 60.0.3112.113  Channel: stable
OS Version: ubuntu 16.04
Flash Version: 

I know this seems trivial, but it is a constant source of frustration for Linux Chrome users, all day, every day.

@ pjl: The text is selected when we press ctrl+k / ctrl+e on reported version 60.0.3112.113 and latest M-63(63.0.3231.0) using Ubuntu 14.04. 

Could you please confirm if the issue is specific to 16.04 as this works fine on Ubuntu 14.04 from our end, also verify the screen cast and let us know if anything missed from our side.

Note: On M-50(50.0.2641.0) when we press ctrl+k / ctrl+e, ""?"" is seen
